/lit/ - Literature

Where should I start with French literature? I've only read the English translations of some of de Maupassant's short stories and Story of the Eye.

It’s an expensive procedure, something along the lines of they get baby shit with perfect gut bacteria and put it in your stomach. We are living in the future.
Or you can just eat a natural diet of raw meats and fruit, or baby shit transfusion. It’s the future the choice is yours

I've been feeling stuck the past few months, moreso than usual. I've tried different jobs, I've tried moving cities, I've tried different hobbies. I try to create art, but I rarely have ideas, and just end up doodling. Nothing feels fulfilling; it's all just wasted time. I haven't worked since May. I'm not interested in working in the field I was in anymore, but I also have no idea what I want to do. I've been like this for as long as I can remember. I can't see it ever getting better.

You'd like that to be the truth. Sadly is not.

The truth is that you were raised on a consumerist society to think that you can do and have everything in life: having many friends, a good and well-paid job or professional career, travel the world, "follow your passion", having a wife and raise a family, etc, etc.

But in reality people can only choose between one or two of these things and there is no time or energy left for anything else.

Now, guess which option is the most frequently overlooked?... Yeah, now blame the "there's only room for success" mindset. Not the leeches, the corrupt politicians nor the Jews. You are responsible for your own choices.

I understand that's it's easier to ignore this reality, blame others for your mistakes and remain as a wagecuck slave to shekelsten, you're "safe" this way.

It has its appeal, even more so if the 4chan hivemind has taught you to just spend hours whining and do nothing else.

Requires no effort and it's fun... Is it, right?.

It is very lonely to be a man with a moral code these days. I suspect you would feel worse if you started to compromise your morals though.

It's hard for smart people to believe that an incredibly simple physical task could be a solution for such complex intellectual problems, but it is. Start lifting weights and getting yourself outside and you will feel better.

The so-called laws of Nature were nonsense. The law of gravity was nonsense. ‘If I wished,’ O’Brien had said, ‘I could float off this floor like a soap bubble.’ Winston worked it out. ‘If he THINKS he floats off the floor, and if I simultaneously THINK I see him do it, then the thing happens.’ Suddenly, like a lump of submerged wreckage breaking the surface of water, the thought burst into his mind: ‘It doesn’t really happen. We imagine it. It is hallucination.’ He pushed the thought under instantly. The fallacy was obvious. It presupposed that somewhere or other, outside oneself, there was a ‘real’ world where ‘real’ things happened. But how could there be such a world? What knowledge have we of anything, save through our own minds? All happenings are in the mind. Whatever happens in all minds, truly happens.
He had no difficulty in disposing of the fallacy, and he was in no danger of succumbing to it.

You consider yourself an intellectual? Very well, disprove the Party's stance on subjective reality.
